I’M SPILLING THE TEA ON MY WEDDING…I MEAN 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY LOL
Why has no one invented a time machine yet? Like we can go to the moon but we can’t turn back time? I’d argue the latter is WAY more useful than a trip to the moon (but I’m also someone who is scared sh*tless of space lol).
Anyways, until someone invents a time machine, I have been re-living my 30th birthday celebration in Palm Springs over and over in my head for the past week.
Some of the most common messages I got during and after this trip were “Where can I book, who did you use for catering, what are these “Manservants” etc.” And you know me, I’m all about efficiency so I wanted to put together a FULL recap post that details EVERYTHING you’d want to know about my Desert Disco 30th.
I’m BEYOND proud that I was able to partner with majority woman owned businesses to make this party a success and it would mean the world to me if you would check them out.
Each of the vendors we partnered with worked SO incredibly hard to make this photoshoot / party a success and if you’re planning any sort of event, party, soiree in the Greater Palm Springs area now or in the future, please use this post as a reference point!
Desert Disco 30th
A full recap of my wedding style 30th birthday party in Palm Springs. I’ve linked EVERYTHING you’ll need to re-create your own disco themed soiree. PLUS you’ll find contact information for each of the vendors we worked with!
Aside from slipping back into my routine and gearing up for our first Gals Abroad Getaways trip to France & putting the finishing touches on our second trip (destination and date announcement coming soon make sure you’re signed up for my group trip newsletter so you can be the first to know!!) I’ve been head down workin away!
Over the past few days some really crazy new opportunities have come my way and this morning I had a pinch me moment where I was like, "is this really all happening?”
MINDFULNESS TIP:
IDK if you’ve seen this before but one of the things I think I saw someone do on TikTok (lol of course) was write down on a little piece of paper a win when it happens - could be HUGE, could be small, either way write it down. Then you put it in a pretty jar - I personally like this one - and at the end of the year or maybe when you’re having a low moment, you can look at those wins and think DAMN I’m killing it.
I’ve tried to be really intentional (some days this doesn’t happen) about writing in my journal and documenting these, let’s call them - HOLY SH*T - moments so that years from now I can look back and remember these moments when I was building this biz brick by brick.
And I think no matter whether you’re an entrepreneur, cat mom, wife, or just someone who’s trying to figure out their passion and purpose in life - recording and documenting life’s big moments is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.
OKAY WOW WHO DO I THINK I AM OPRAH?!
Anyways, I hope this little tangent was helpful to you ;)

A hopeful, but sobering piece about what Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the supreme court means for the country. One of the most poignant things I heard Judge Jackson say in her speech, “In my family, it took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States.” - give it a watch it will just take a few min.
CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
RICH MOM WALKING WITH MY BALA BANGLES - I’ve recently done a deep dive into the It’s Me Tinx social media stratosphere. For those who don’t know, Tinx rose to fame on none other than TikTok and has since been dishing out unfiltered, relatable, raw advice for in her weekly AMAs (Ask Me Anything) which have now turned into a podcast (that I’ve been binging). Anyways, she has this thing called RMW (Rich Mom Walking) where you put on your bala bangles (very aesthetically pleasing wrist weights) and walk the neighborhood or to get coffee. HERE’S THE PODCAST WHERE SHE EXPLAINS IT.
I have since adopted this habit - mainly because it’s finally nice enough to consider stepping outdoors but also because I think it’s a nice way to get my body moving & start my day. I hope you’ve enjoyed this deep explanation into what a Rich Mom Walk is.
Also, thanks to all my pals on IG, I have dubbed my new suburban personality “Ahhhlexandra” because at this point I’m getting WAYYYYY too comfortable living in the suburbs and I’m starting to adapt. GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!
HERE’S MY BALA BANGLE PICKS
BAG BORROW OR STEAL - In one of my recent Reels I shared my secret to carrying designer bags without paying designer prices - spoiler alert - it’s Bag Borrow or Steal. You know I’m a rental service junkie and this one is honestly brilliant. Because luxury prices are just too silly to spend sometimes on novelty bags you might only wear a handful of times. Or heck, even if you just want to test drive a bag you’re thinking about purchasing.
I’m working on a discount code for you guys (YAY!), but until then, check out some of the bags you can rent.
HERE’S SOME OF THE BAGS I’VE GOT MY EYES ON
CURRENTLY READING - I’ve heard it recommended A TON OF TIMES but I’m finally diving into Atomic Habits and I’m already in love (listened to it on my Rich Mom Walk lol). If you’re looking to get healthier, improve a skill, advance in your career, or heck just be an overall better human this book breaks down the science behind making tiny little changes that make a huge impact on every area of your life.
HAPPY ENDING
Because I’m clearly obsessed with Tinx here’s one of my favorite reels of hers so you too can hop on the Tinx bandwagon with me. Be warned you will fall down the rabbit hole haha.
